Bears predictions: wild card playoff game vs. Saints

The Sun-Times’ experts offer their picks for the Bears’ wild-card playoff game Sunday against the Saints:

RICK MORRISSEY

Saints 35-20

The Bears need Mitch Trubisky to make big plays Sunday. That’s a problem because he hasn’t shown the ability to do it against good teams in big games. Hard to see it changing now. Season: 9-7.

RICK TELANDER

Saints 28-23

This game is indoors, so nobody can blame January weather. They can blame Drew Brees for being a senior Aaron Rodgers, though. Two Hall of Fame-to-be quarterbacks in a row.
